county Is not known, but the first Tobias is

0! nea. "a, Ltuding in l7i5. He was one
! OF S''"ri! hrothers who emigrated from
ASA" ,':triy in the last century. He after
wards vas engaged in merchandising in
| ElktOn, and built the historic old building
two doors east of the Court House III 1853
This man was the father of Major John
Ruduph, who with his cousin Captain
Michael Kudulpl, served with distinction
| III the southern campaigns during the revo-
| lutionary war under Light Horse" Harry
| Lee. The MAJOR was sometimes called
| "Flshtiug Jack, " and the identical pair
of old tiint-lock hJrse-pistols which he car
| ried while in the army, are in the possession
OF the family. Michael Rudulph, who like
his brother, was known as IA "Iiou of the
| Legion, sailed from Baltimore in the latter
| part of the last century as supercargo of a
| vessel loaded with tobacco. The vessel has
never be'l heard Of since. Upon this, sup
ported by many other circumstances, is
founded the theory that Michael Hudulph
and Michael Ney, Napoleon's celebrated
marshall, "the bravest of the brave" were
one and the same person. The question
will probably never be settled.
| The second Tobias Rudulph Il brother of
| john was a merchant, and lived in the old
| family mansion on Main street where the
father of the deceased was born. Tobias,
! the father OF the deceased, was Il prominent
lawyer of this county. He and his brother
| Zebuon both wrote poetry of considerable
| merit, and the former wrote a drama en-
! titled ''TaGcrei." The father of the dt
ceased died in lS2S leaving four children.
OF these Miss Annie Rudulph alone sur
wives. He was engaged in farming near
town most of his life, but a few years ago
sold his farm and purchased a residence in
| town. y singular coincidence in regard to
| this family is that each of the four Tobias :,
and also the fifth one of Che name, the son
| uf the deceased wera born in the month Of
| December. Mr.. l;udulph was of Il kindly
and GENIAL disposition, retrin, and uHob
